Hmm, since now we have a sub-section for the league, post only sign-up and skins related stuff here from now on. The rest should be posted in the appropriate thread. Thanks!

You can post your protests 48H after the race ended.

Thanks everyone for coming. A lot of drivers this round, maybe even a bit too much for me since it took more time to start and the feature race started ~25min later than it was supposed to.

Anyway, thanks for being patient and see you next round.

Although I was pretty disappointed with the attitude towards the drivers, just after I said Chat Open there were a lot of swearing, blaming and naming - I mean, why are you even in this league if you don't have the nerves to take some small contacts between cars etc. These cars are very competitive, so people get frustrated and contacts are only normal (I'm not saying that there must be contacts and its only good when there are crashes, but you have to show respect towards others whatever happens) + you can report drivers AFTER race if needed, but that attitude for some of the drivers was pretty disappointing.


See you next round! Thanks spdo team for the server and R.Kronpušs for helping me.

Since driver #79 Māris Znotiņš can't attend the qualification, next on the list is driver #85 Van Den Bosch Nicolas, who gets the chance to participate in qualification.


Neilser - Nope, I don't mind. Just wondering, will you be racing at the qualification? Or are you talking about "not getting" to the race?


And sorry about remote and that there is no stream etc. I had other things to worry about to be set up for this round, maybe in future rounds there will be some enjoyment for those who are not racing in the race. <--- If anyone is willing to stream this event in future, PM!

Quote from Framaris :

Will remote be enabled for the race?

Probably not. I can't access our server via lfsworld.net, so I can't set it to work. Someone else has already posted the server at Insim relay and it doesn't allow me to do it again. If anyone knows how I could access, then I can try fixing the problem.


Buck - That number has been taken long time ago, please choose a different one.

Since driver #18 Aidas Staškevičius can't attend the qualification, next on the list is driver #5 Frank Sinchety, who gets the chance to participate in qualification.

Nice, congrats to team and Karl! Good luck!

Well, I don't want to make the reserve list, but I can do it this way:

Quote :

If someone from TOP64 can not attend the qualification tomorrow, let me know at least 30min before the race.

If that will be done, then I can send password to the next drivers in the line after TOP64. But not in any other way, I mean, if somebody doesn't let me know before the event, I won't ask anyone to come to from "reserve list", it will just make the things a bit chaotic at the start of the qualification.

PM's have been sent to TOP64 drivers (hopefully all) with round 1 information. If you haven't received a PM, please ask me and I'll send it to you.
Make sure you qualify in the right server, each one of you received a PM with a server you must qualify in.

TOP1-32 drivers must qualify in Tiger Express Motorsports server.
TOP33-64 drivers must qualify in spdo GTi Public server.
Race server will be: Tiger Express Motorsports

Quote :

If someone from TOP64 can't attend the qualification tomorrow, let me know at least 30min before the race. So that drives after TOP64 could have a chance to join the qualification.

Round 1 Information:

Date & Time: 26.01.2012. (Starting at 19:00 UTC with 20min hardcore qualification)
Only TOP32 drivers from qualification can participate in the race.
Server names for qualification:
Tiger Express Motorsports (For drivers 1-32 [from pre-qualification results])
spdo GTi Public (For drivers 33-64 [from pre-qualification results])
Server Password: Will be PM'd to TOP64 drivers.

Sprint race: 6 Laps
Feature race: 12 Laps

Remember to use the right name format and XRG drivers to have +10kg added. (There will be no Airio to control that during the official sessions.)
NOTE: There will be a HARDCORE qualification, meaning: You will not be able to use SHIFT+P/SHIFT+S during the qualification, you can only fix your car, add fuel etc. driving to the pits. There will not be any car reset and in case you spectate, you may not rejoin the track again. There will be race director controlling this, but in case race director doesn't work, it doesn't mean you can rejoin the track. (If done so, you will be spectated by an admin and disqualified if ignoring the warning multiple times.)

Skins: You may also send high-res skin you will use for the season via PM or upload it here at your sign-up. (This is only needed for the pictures which might be made after each round - skins will not be used for anything else). It is not obligatory, as there are no special skin requirements, but it would sure make the quality of the pictures better and nicer to look at.

I just checked it in server, the name changes automatically right after you change it via options or when you come in the server with different name. So, you might have not payed attention to it when you check the times.

Quote from Neilser :

Oh crap :/
I connected briefly to the server from a different PC late last night to check my position - had a different nick set at the time. Am now at work and not likely to be able to reconnect before 18:00.
I thought Airio only updated the nick if you set a new lap (or maybe even a better lap) though?

Nope, it updates names when you change it. That's why it's always good to check it before you leave the server. Well, I can't really do anything in this case, I don't think it would be fair towards others if I let you through the round.

BTW, I just reread what I wrote before, it's not 1sec penalty, the lap time won't count at all:

Quote :

You must qualify with the correct name, and number - as an example in the rule book. (If you qualify with the wrong name, your lap time will be ignored.)

Sorry, my bad, I had forgotten what I wrote.

What you can do, is ask someone else to connect with your LFS details to change it.


-----------------------------

Wrong name format in server: whiterat, pwrslave - change the name in the server. And driver #49 Bill Kazantzas also has to change to a name that he has signed-up with. (At the moment your first name starts with a letter V as it shows in the Airio and not B.)
Wrong sign-ups:
#64 (Mikko Meriluoto) (No car mentioned)
#40 (Sampsa Jurvansuu) (No car mentioned)

Above are mentioned only the drivers that are currently in TOP64.

Ok, no problem.

Just a reminder:
The pre-qualifying ends today at 18:00 UTC.

Also, when you leave the server, make sure you still have the right name format on, because if you change the name before you leave the server, Airio saves the wrong name (the one that you had on last). Meaning, that you get a 1sec time penalty for wrong name format = you might not get through the TOP64.

Also, make sure your sign-up is correct and that in the driver info list you don't have any red fields next to your name, because that will lead to a disqualification from round 1.


Good luck!

No, !TOP STD shows the current pre-qualifiying times. The times before pre-qualifying were deleted. These are the official lap times that you see by typing !top STD.

That number is also taken, please choose a free number.

Quote from nikosk31 :

Full name: Nikos Koudourakis
LFSWorld username: nikosk31
Full team name: Hellenic Racing team
Country: Greece
Preferred number: 99
Car: XFG

That number is taken, choose a different one.

Sorry for withdrawing, spectated because of PC issues. I hope I didn't cause any trouble.

Cool skin, I would do it if I wasn't lazy, but I think Rony will manage it.

BTW, wasn't trackmania those small radio cars or smth? Didn't think that game looked like this.

Looks great. Good job!

Quote from go-go-go!!! :

Full name: Defoin didier
LFSWorld username: go-go-go!!!
Full team name: Crazy Drivers
Country: Belgium
Preferred number: 22
Car: XRG

That number is taken, choose an available number.

Round 1 Pre-qualifying has started. Server is set and ready. I remind, that all the info has been sent via PM, if you haven't received it, let me know.

New rule has been added:
*Button clutch has been banned for the whole season. In case of using it, you'll be disqualified from a round or banned from the league.

Also, since there will probably be some pictures after each round and if you want your car to look good, you can send me a high-res of your skin via PM or just add to your sign-up here if it's not a problem for you. But remember, there are no special skin requirements, so skin is up to you.
